The London police were looking for a criminal who had robbed a bank. One day they caught him and took him to prison. But while they were taking photographs of him from the front, from the left, from the right, with a hat, without a hat - he suddenly attacked one of the policeman and ran away. Then a week later the telephone rang in the police station and somebody said: "You are looking for Ben Jackson, aren't you?" -"Yes." - "Well, he was at Victoria Station an hour ago. He has probably left London by now." The city police immediately sent four different photos of the robber to the railway police. All the trains were searched. Less than two hours later they got a telephone call from a small town not far from London. "We have caught three of the men," they said happily, "and we hope to catch the fourth very soon."
